Sanaa Lathan has found herself at the centre of probably one of the weirdest showbiz stories after she was forced to speak out when Tiffany Haddish claimed Beyonce was bitten by someone at a party.

Girls’ Trip star Haddish whipped the Beyhive into a frenzy after she claimed someone bit Queen Bey at a bash recently but kept schtum on who it was.

She told GQ: ‘Beyonce stormed away, went up to Jay-Z and was like, “Jay! Come here! This bitch…” and snatched him.

‘They went to the back of the room. I was like, “What just happened?” And Beyonce’s friend walked up and was like, “Can you believe this bitch just bit Beyonce?”

‘I said to Beyonce, “Did she really bite you?” She was like, “Yeah,” I was like, “She gonna get her ass beat tonight.”’

While fan speculation has dragged everyone from Rihanna to Jennifer Lawrence into the mystery, Sanaa spoke out when Beyonce fans flooded her Instagram page with bee emojis.

Where have I seen Sanaa before?

Sanaa, 46, is likely a new name to a lot of people but she really shouldn’t be, as the star has been acting (and singing!) since the 90s with appearances in classic sitcom Moesha, Family Matters and NYPD Blue.

One of her most memorable roles is in classic 2000 romantic comedy Love & Basketball as Monica Wright.

She also appeared in 2004 blockbuster Alien vs Predator and later in Steven Soderburgh film Contagion.

Sanaa was the voice of Donna Tubbs in the shortlived animation The Cleveland Show, and had a role in Now You See Me 2 in 2016.

Just last year she played Irene Kennedy in American Assassin opposite Michael Keaton and Dylan O’Brien.

So what happened with her and Beyonce?

Well…nothing, actually. Although fans and TMZ claim Sanaa was the one to give Beyonce a friendly nip, Sanaa issued a denial herself.

She posted on Twitter: ‘Y’all are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it would’ve been a love bite.’
